🚀 Project Summary

This project integrates hardware, firmware, and design elements to develop a fully functional autonomous 3D mapping drone system. This iteration of the design involves a drone capable of autonomously navigating the operation environment of Lv4 EECE, a LoRa-based kill switch which covers the entire operation environment, a mapping test rig used to manually collect data from 2 independent mapping systems, and a 3D mapping python pipeline which runs on the base station, used to convert raw mapping data from the test rig into 2 independent maps plus a combined map.

The next iteration of this design aims to combine the mapping test rig with the autonomous drone platform, creating a fully integrated autonomous 3D mapping drone system which follows the system architecture diagram below.
